Funk, who was among the hostages in the standoff at Eagle Nation Cycles, left the building following an exchange of gunfire between police and the gunman, identified as Brian Flatoff. Neenah Police have said he had a gun and did not drop it when ordered to. He was “subsequently shot at by one or more officers on scene,” Neenah Police Chief Kevin Wilkinson said Saturday.

Funk was taken to Theda Clark Medical Center and later pronounced dead, police said.

On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, which is handling the investigation because it's a shooting involving police, confirmed that Funk did have a gun on him. But the DOJ would provide no details about whether Funk, who his family says had a conceal-carry permit, had the gun in his hands.

Ceman's comments Wednesday added to the DOJ statement.

“Our investigation thus far has shown that the deceased, Michael Funk, was armed when fired upon by police,” DOJ spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said in Tuesday's statement. “However, DOJ has much work ahead of us and a prosecutor will make a final determination on whether there should be charges in the case.”
